Purple plumes of potpourri
Sachets of a breeze...

5AM the haywire of light
you've framed the vista 
from your frosty window
Stacked sachets  of cos lettuces
ponder for an outcome growth
Whence the day of blossom

Salvation is always a cost
Once you rode the world
but now you're part of the pack
eager for their morsels

Talk is easy
like hanging fire
Blackened clichés parade
You straddle the foundations
for the fear of listening 
to your own sage
unfold in your mind!...

When fragrances of candles and sachets
	come wafting to me as I shop, I close
	my eyes a moment, think of childhood days,
	and smile. I loved the sachets Mama chose
	to place in drawers—lavender and rose.

	Preparing grandkids’ breakfast takes me back
	to lovely scents of childhood. I recall
	those sausages and yummy golden stacks
	of flapjacks Mama fixed. Down our short hall,
	I hurried to be served. I never stalled!
